Office of Energy : For Consumers : Indigenous Communities

The coordinated provision of essential services, including power, to remote Indigenous communities has been undertaken by the Commonwealth and State Governments working in partnership.

The Western Australian Government became a signatory to the Agreement for the Proviion of Essential Services to Indigenous Communities in WA in October 2000. Subsequently, it signed the Bilateral Agreement on Indigenous Affairs Between the Commonwealth of Australia and the State of Western Australia 2006-2010 in July 2006, which seeks to streamline and upgrade essential services in Aboriginal communities.

The following projects are in place to deliver improved services to Indigenous Communities:

Aboriginal and Remote Communities Power Supply Project

Remote Area Essential Services Program

Town Reserves Regularisation Program
